"St. Francis Borgia Church, Washington, Missouri, was founded by German immigrants in 1834. The parish, named for a Jesuit saint, was run by the Jesuits until 1894, when the Franciscans took charge. Father Anthony Moll, O.F.M., pastor from 1899 to 1901, introduced the Third Order to the parish. In 1990, the Franciscans left the parish and the Archdiocese of St. Louis took charge of it. The parochial school has been in operation since 1846, and for many years was under the School Sisters of Notre Dame" ~ Patheos
